Seeing Qin Zhibo's very unbeatable smile, Conan felt helpless, helpless, and helpless.
Who gave him the identity of a child now.
Aren’t children just for fun?
There is no ruthless character like "Professional Mage Liu Haizhu" in this world. With the words "I*your mother", Qin Zhibo happily buys melon seeds for Conan and tells Conan all the secrets.
However, the old man who adopted Yuriko was found by Qin Zhibo, and Conan was almost certain.
Although the old man is dressed in black, it would logically trigger Conan's black-clothed PTSD.
But this time it was very rare. Conan never thought about it in that direction from beginning to end. He just felt that this old man seemed to have experienced many things and was not an ordinary person.
It's possible that "this person was introduced by Qin Zhibo", so I fell in love with him.
Of course, Haibara Ai's radar response was not triggered, which was one of the reasons why Conan was relieved.
In short, as long as it is someone introduced by Qin Zhibo, Conan thinks it is trustworthy.
At least it would be better than those greedy people like Mihua to take control of Lilyko, the future rich woman.
…
First, Ai Haibara, who is not interested in Kaitou Kid, is sent back to Dr. Agasa's house. The last stop of the journey is the Mori Detective Agency.
"Conan, did you have fun camping out?"
Mao Lilan, like the parents of the three little ones, asked Conan about his spring outing, not believing that Conan was actually abducted by aliens.
"Well, it's exciting!"
"Really? Uncle Qin?"
Conan didn't want Xiaolan to worry, so he greeted Qin Zhibo before entering and asked not to tell Xiaolan about the Angel's Pavilion.
Qin Zhibo agreed and was helping to cover at this moment.
"Yes, there was no incident this time, and everything was peaceful along the way."
Conan squinted his eyes at Qin Zhibo and thought to himself: Did you do this on purpose?
However, Mao Lilan did not doubt Qin Zhibo's statement, and said pleasantly: "Is it true? I'm still at home worried about what else will happen to Conan..."
Well... I have to say that Mao Lilan's sixth sense is quite accurate.
"By the way, Sister Xiaolan, do you know that the consultant of the Suzuki Consortium published an invitation letter in the newspaper to Kaito Kidd?"
Mao Lilan nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course, wasn't this matter a big deal yesterday?"
"Actually, the consultant is Yuanzi's uncle. Since he has been abroad, she rarely sees her. I just heard that her uncle has a strange temperament..."
At this moment, no one cared about him, and Mouri Kogoro, who felt a little embarrassed, could no longer pretend to be serious, so he sat on the boss's chair and suddenly spoke.
"Hmph, if you have any brains, you will know that that invitation letter must be a trap. How could Kaitou Kidd fall for such an obvious trick?"
Qin Zhibo expressed his opinion, "I think it should be 50-50."
Conan felt helpless. Isn't this the same as not saying anything?
In fact, after Qin Zhibo's real analysis, he felt that the probability of Kaitou Kidd being invited or not was 50 to 50.
He won't come because he already knows that Pandora's Stone is "Crimson Tears", so there is no need to steal other gems.
He came because he needed to confuse the people of the Brotherhood of Beasts and continue to pretend that he had not found Pandora.
However, considering that Suzuki Jirokichi took the initiative to provoke this time, and Kaitou Kidd is a young and energetic young man, the probability of accepting the challenge may still be slightly higher.
At this time, Mao Lilan announced the correct answer.
"I heard from Sonoko this morning that Uncle Jiroji had received a text message from Kaitou Kidd a few hours ago saying that he would keep the appointment~"
Mao Lilan smiled happily and seemed to be looking forward to seeing Kaitou Kidd again.
"What?!" Mouri Kogoro was shocked.
Feeling that her old father still didn't believe it, Mao Lilan gave the Kaitou Kid text message sent by Sonoko to Mao Li Kogoro.
The precise time was marked in the text message, but Kaitou Kidd said that he would visit the site one day in advance to survey the site.
"PS, in order to make the name of Blue Miracle more appropriate, I will use walking to get this gem..."
"He wants to use walking form? Isn't he too arrogant?"
Mouri Kogoro puffed his beard and stared, feeling angry at the young man's arrogant words.
However, Qin Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not in the form of Gundam.
Kaitou Kid's challenge made Conan look serious, and he remembered Mr. Clock who always had a poker face yesterday.
Doing it continuously in such a short period of time.
Is that person really him?
You must ask yourself clearly in person.
…
One day before Kaitou Kidd inspected the scene in advance, the Mori family and Qin Zhibo, at the invitation of Suzuki Sonoko, came to the Suzuki Grand Museum in Shiodome Park, Tokyo.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of the museum, Qin Zhibo looked at the avenue facing the museum's main entrance. The street was already crowded with people coming to watch.
Nearly 30% of them are ordinary citizens and simple-minded people, and the remaining 70% are die-hard fans of Kaitou Kidd.
Among the die-hard fans, there are also female fans wearing Japanese wedding kimonos and Western wedding dresses, holding bouquets and looking eagerly at the sky.
"Forehead……"
Qin Zhibo looked at the exaggeration at the scene and thought to himself that if one day Kaitou Kidd could clear his name, he would definitely open a brokerage company and sign Kuroba Kaito.
After observing the situation outside, Qin Zhibo turned his head again and looked behind him.
Although this place is called the Suzuki Grand Museum and is a property of the Suzuki Foundation, it is actually a museum mainly based on Suzuki Jiroyoshi's personal collection.
The exhibition hall on the second floor focuses on the various competition awards that Suzuki Jirokichi has won while traveling abroad over the years.
Awards include golf, tennis, tropical racing, hamburger eating, flying around the world, etc.
There are indeed many medals and trophies in various competitions, but if you look closely, you will find that most of the awards were not won by Suzuki Jirokichi himself.
For example, in the Tropical Racing Crossing, Suzuki Jiroyoshi was the exclusive sponsor of the champion driver, and only then did he win the championship trophy.
There is also the US Open doubles championship, which was won by Suzuki Jiroyoshi and the player he collaborated with, but that player himself is the number one tennis player in the world.
The same goes for flying around the world. The plane they flew was an old-style airplane with front and rear seats, and Jiroyoshi Suzuki sat in the back seat.
Typical "We two are so awesome!".
This reminded Qin Zhibo of the former AD who had a 100% win rate in the national server and held the two top tournament trophies of Dota 2 and League. Suzuki Jiroyoshi's behavior was basically the same as that person.
Perhaps the only award that you can win without exerting your abilities and relying on your own strength is the gold medal in the hamburger eating competition.
But in this case, doesn’t it prove that this is a bastard?
Thinking about it this way, Qin Zhibo felt that Suzuki Jirokichi, apart from having a lot of money, was not that powerful.
Among the many trophies collected by Suzuki Jirokichi, a golden goddess statue holding an oversized sapphire attracted everyone's attention.
"Wow!"
"Is this pure gold? How much is such a big gold statue worth?"
Mouri Kogoro came close to the statue of the goddess, his eyes flashing. If Suzuki Sonoko hadn't told him, the security guard next to him would have eliminated him as a criminal who coveted the treasure.
Conan looked at the golden statue with a normal expression. After all, the gold he saw yesterday was much more than the gold in this golden statue.
At this time, a voice came from somewhere in the hall.
"The value of this treasure cannot be measured by money..."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Suzuki Sonoko walking out with a bald old man with white beard and white eyebrows, followed by a group of people.
Although this bald old man is not young, there is an air of determination between his brows that refuses to accept old age or defeat.
Above his head, Qin Zhibo saw basic information.
Suzuki Jiroyoshi, 72 years old, capitalist, social credit 12,400.
Behind Suzuki Jirokichi, Qin Zhibo unexpectedly saw another familiar figure.
This figure was unusually tall and majestic. He clearly stood out among a group of Japanese people and was a presence that could not be ignored at all.
he is……
Suzuki Jirokichi came over, looked at the golden statue and laughed: "Haha, this is a valuable treasure I bought from Mr. Marsh after a lot of hard work, just to catch that thief..."
With that said, Suzuki Jirokichi turned his body sideways and introduced to everyone.
"This is Mr. Walter Marsh Jr. from the United States. He is the CEO of STK Transcontinental Technology Company and the original owner of this treasure."
Following Suzuki Jirokichi's introduction, the Mori family looked at this giant man who was two meters tall.
The man's strong, bulging muscles held up the already oversized suit, which looked terrifying.
The 185cm tall Mouri Kogoro looked up at this giant man, his mouth slightly opened in shock.
Among the Japanese, he is already considered very tall, but in front of this person, he seems to be stunted.
Conan had to raise his head, with equally surprised eyes.
As soon as these people came out of the corner, Conan noticed this person.
It's just that at that time, Conan thought this was a foreign bodyguard hired by Suzuki Jirokichi, but he didn't expect that he was actually the CEO of a technology company. Really, a person cannot be judged by his appearance.
Mao Lilan was also surprised. They said that Europeans and Americans like to eat meat and generally have strong bodies, but looking like this is too...
Only Qin Zhibo was the most uncertain, simply because he had seen this person before at the American press conference of the "Cocoon" game.
Walter Marsh Jr., a descendant of the Innsmouth Marsh family with a power of 100, is committed to developing drugs to treat "deep dive syndrome". He is also related to Baijiu Pharmaceutical, where Haibara Ai's parents first worked.
At this time, Suzuki Sonoko also began to introduce the people she brought.
"These two are the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, the famous detective Qin Zhibo, Xiaolan, and Conan. They were all invited by me to capture Kaito Kidd."
In this formal occasion, Suzuki Sonoko was very measured and said that she was here to help arrest someone.
"Okay, you guys."
"Hello."×3
Walter Marsh Jr. nodded and said hello to everyone in broken Japanese, and the Maori family did not dare to neglect and also said hello in return.
During this period, Walter Marsh Jr. glanced at Qin Zhibo who was silent.
Qin Zhibo noticed this, but he was not worried about being recognized because he used the identity of "Michael" at the game conference.
Walter Marsh Jr. walked up to the Golden Goddess Statue, and while gazing deeply at the statue, he introduced the statue in English.
"This is an important treasure of our family. It expresses my ancestors' admiration and worship for the Lord of the Deep Sea. It also carries the history of the Marsh family's development and growth relying on the metallurgical industry."
"If Mr. Suzuki hadn't spoken this time, I would have been reluctant to part with such an important family treasure..."
Suzuki Jirokichi walked to the side with a smile and also tried to persuade him in English: "I know, I know..."
"But rather than letting the important treasure gather dust in the safe, it is better to let it become the glory that everyone admires again. Besides, the world-famous thief has already taken the bait..."
Walter Marsh Jr. and Suzuki Jirokichi communicated in fluent English, leaving Mouri Kogoro and Mouri Ran, two half-learners in English, confused and could only stand there as if they were minions.
Conan understood their conversation and stopped pretending. He turned to Suzuki Sonoko and asked, "Sister Sonoko, since it is such an important family treasure, why did Mr. Marsh sell it to Uncle Jiroji?"
Sonoko bent down and whispered to Conan and others, "Actually, Uncle Jiroji bought this golden statue not with money, but with the priority distribution rights of the Cocoon game console~"
"Cocoon Game Console?"
Conan and others were startled for a moment before they remembered that the cross-generational game console launch event not long ago almost caused a catastrophe of the century and almost destroyed the second-generation game console that carries Japan's future.
Since the accident at the press conference, the Suzuki Consortium, the largest investor, has also argued hard to retain relevant core technologies and minimize losses.
But this will have to wait until the technology passes safety inspections before U.S. companies can prioritize the development of related products and put them on the market.
If the Suzuki Consortium wants to develop products using this technology, it must wait until the 20-year patent protection period expires.
What Walter Marsh Jr. exchanged for family treasures was the priority distribution rights for future related products equipped with "Cocoon" game technology.
Conan understood the meaning and suddenly felt that Suzuki Jirokichi was the one who suffered the loss.
If that cross-generational game could be re-released, its value would be immeasurably huge, and even Japan's largest game company Mantendo would have to make way for it.
Qin Zhibo on the side also felt that this was a hugely profitable deal for Walter Marsh Jr.
Moreover, Walter Marsh Jr. may be different from the elders of the Marsh family. He no longer has any respect for the god in the sea.
Cthulhu, right...
But when it comes to game consoles, Qin Zhibo thinks of one more thing.
He pulled Yuanzi aside and asked quietly, "Yuanzi, how is the repair of the 'Cocoon' game console now?"
Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered what he had been asked to do not long ago.
